The minimal actuarial adjustment for age and sex differences increases the difference in payments between IHS AIAN and Whites ($6,273 compared to $5,265, or about $1,000) but not with Other AIAN ($6,273 compared to $5,398, or about $875). As with the FFS recipients not in CMCP plans, this effect is expected because the IHS AIAN have a younger age distribution than that of Whites and therefore lower expected payments, but a similar age distribution to that of Other AIAN and therefore similar expected payments. Again, the mean adjusted payment increases for all three groups with the age adjustment because payments for older more costly recipients are given equal weight with less costly younger recipients which constitute the vast majority of the recipients in all three groups. This is how the statistical adjustment controls for the differences in age distributions across the three groups. Adjusting payments further for disability status, either because of Medicaid eligibility as a disabled enrollee, or as a Medicare-Medicaid ‘Dual’ enrollee under age 65, increases the adjusted means but not the differences in means for the groups (Figure 11). The mean total payment for IHS AIAN is about $1,000 higher for Whites ($7,439 compared to $6,490) and for Other AIAN ($6,479). Again the adjusted mean rises for all groups because the higher payments for the smaller groups of Disabled are given equal weight with less costly but higher proportions of non-disabled recipients during the statistical adjustment.

Recipients in Medical Comprehensive Managed Care Plans (CMCP)<br />
Age, Sex, Disability & Morbidity Do Not Explain Differences in Payments for Recipients with<br />
Managed Medical Care<br />
If left unadjusted for any determinants, the mean total payment for IHS AIAN recipients with capitated medical<br />
care in a Comprehensive Managed Care Plan (CMCP) who are less than 65 years of age is slightly higher for<br />
Whites ($4,268 compared to $3,865, or about $400 difference), but substantially higher for Other AIAN ($3,426,<br />
or $842 difference) (Figure 11). The minimal actuarial adjustment for age and sex differences increases the<br />
difference in payments between IHS AIAN and Whites ($6,273 compared to $5,265, or about $1,000) but not<br />
with Other AIAN ($6,273 compared to $5,398, or about $875). As with the FFS recipients not in CMCP plans, this<br />
effect is expected because the IHS AIAN have a younger age distribution than that of Whites and therefore lower<br />
expected payments, but a similar age distribution to that of Other AIAN and therefore similar expected<br />
payments. Again, the mean adjusted payment increases for all three groups with the age adjustment because<br />
payments for older more costly recipients are given equal weight with less costly younger recipients which<br />
constitute the vast majority of the recipients in all three groups. This is how the statistical adjustment controls<br />
for the differences in age distributions across the three groups.<br />
Adjusting payments further for disability status, either because of Medicaid eligibility as a disabled enrollee, or<br />
as a Medicare-Medicaid ‘Dual’ enrollee under age 65, increases the adjusted means but not the differences in<br />
means for the groups (Figure 11). The mean total payment for IHS AIAN is about $1,000 higher for Whites<br />
($7,439 compared to $6,490) and for Other AIAN ($6,479). Again the adjusted mean rises for all groups<br />
because the higher payments for the smaller groups of Disabled are given equal weight with less costly but<br />
higher proportions of non-disabled recipients during the statistical adjustment.
